Is your dog your best friend? What do you think about dogfighting? Now is your chance to speak your mind for rap legend Darryl McDaniels (aka DMC) of Run-DMC fame and win some major cash!
The HSUS is holding the first "Hip Hop for Hounds" contest for the best rap song that stands up for dogs—and against dogfighting. The winning rap will be hand-picked by DMC, and the winner will score $1,000! (See our contest rules for details.)
Also, stay tuned for our "People's Choice Award"—vote on your favorite of the top rap entries! If your song wins this contest, you could walk away with $500!
Here's How to Get Started
- Write your rap. Remember—it's about the dogs! The song should be about why we love our dogs and what's wrong with fighting them. Creativity is encouraged!
- You can submit your song two ways:
- Record your song and email it to us. Go to yousendit.com and attach your song file (under 3MB). Then email it to hiphopforhounds@hsus.org.
